The DancePlug Team

Yesterday, The DancePlug Team went downtown to the Bootleg Theatre to check out Method Contemporary Dance's final presentation of "Then See If You Still Love Us". Along with host Starr Session, we captured pre-show chats with some of the guests. Keep a lookout for those, they will be coming out very soon. 

Method Contemporary Dance

Choreographed by Method Contemporary Dance Artistic Director Bradley Michaud, the performance showed off tremendous athleticism with quirky, fun moments, to depict the ups and downs of love in modern times. The cast included six dancers: Chelsea Asman, Jay Bartley, Nicole Cox, Jessie Harper, Kalani McManus, and Bradley Michaud, all of whom were very comfortable jumping off the ground (or a peer for that matter) and falling back down at least a hundred times during the show.
